Dream When You're Feeling Blue.

This is my favorite song, ever.

Dream, when you're feeling blue
Dream, that's the thing to do
Just watch the smoke rings rise in the air
You'll find your share of memories there

So dream when the day is through
Dream, and they might come true
Things never are as bad as they seem
So dream, dream, dream

Dream when the day is through
Dream, and they might come true
Things never are as bad as they seem
So dream, dream, dream dream

Things never are as bad as they seem
So dream, dream, dream

New.

New blog layout. I really like it.

The End.

something I have to say.

It is now 11:58 pm and everyone the world in the world knows that America has just elected it's first African-American President. So for the record...

Congratulations Senator Obama. Although I did not vote for you and can't even really claim to like you, since you will be the Commander-in-Chief as of January 20, 2009 I am inclined to respect you. I have this to say, I hope that you take your job seriously, I hope that you do all of the things you promised, and I hope with every bit of my heart that you do not lead astray American Democracy. You made history, do not take it lightly.

As for Senator McCain. Sir, I believe you are a true American hero and it saddens me that you will not hold the office you so rightfully deserve. I believe you would have done great things for this country by holding its highest positon, but I also believe you have made a positive mark on America as a whole that will never be forgotten. Thank you Senator McCain and I wish you all the best. You will always be my choice for President.

And America, I'm thankful for this election having such a high voter turnout. Whether it went my way or not, it was something to be proud of.

p.s. I'm still a Republican ;)

21 and some Change.

I turned 21 this past Saturday and I didn't drink. That's right, I still haven't drank anything even though I'm 21 years old. Talk amongst yourselves.

It's Been Awhile.

Not much going on, that's why there haven't been many posts lately. I went and saw my school's theatre department production "Of Mice & Men". I was very impressed with it. The strange thing is that I wouldn't have gotten to go if I hadn't just so happened across a ticket lying on the sidewalk. I feel kind of guilty that my good fortune was the result of someone else having misfortune. I opened up an account at Blockbuster so I can rent all the videos that my store doesn't carry. I rode a public transportation bus for the first time yesterday. It was a milestone in my life, haha. Speaking of milestones, my 21st birthday is this coming Saturday and I'm not the least bit excited about it. I should be, but it's hard to when I don't think much is going to happen and I'm starting to feel old. Anyway, the next time you hear from me I'll more than likely be a legal adult in every way, shape, and form. Yay me.

Remember.

It's September 11th. Take some time out of your day to pay respects to the heroes and the people who lost their lives.

The First Week of My Junior Year.

So far everything is going pretty well here at school. I moved in on Saturday the 23rd and started class on Monday. All my professors are pretty great, but the course load that I have is going to take a lot of work. I knew that going into it, but it's different when you're actually doing it and not just speculating about it over the summer. My floor is way more social than it has been in the past, which is a big improvement from the antisocial grouches that were here last semester. All in all I have a positive outlook for this semester, even if it is going to be riddled with papers and research. I'm a history major I kind of saw that coming.

Quote from Dr. Reynolds: "Don't mess with historians, they have time on their hands."

Terror.

They say that when you're terrified, you show your true colors and who you really are. In my 20, almost 21 years on this planet I can honestly say I've never been terrified. I've been afraid of course, who hasn't? It's a basic human emotion, fear. This may sound twisted, but I actually sort of want to be scared out of my mind, because I want to find out who I really am. I would like to believe I'm brave, that I can handle anything thrown at me with grace and dignity, that I wouldn't run and leave other people in the same situation in my cowardly wake. But the truth is I really don't know myself that way, because I've never had the opportunity to find out. We as people tend to believe what we want to about ourselves, and give ourselves qualities that in reality we do not possess, but in our defense some of us don't know we're doing that. We've just never had the chance to prove otherwise. If the day comes, and I get this crazy wish of mine granted, I hope I find out I'm the person I think I am, and that if I'm faced with a horrifying situation I can handle it, even though I'd be more afraid than I've even been in my entire life. I hope that if there are others involved (and I pray to god with everything I have there isn't because I would never wish this on another person) that I would want to help them, and not run. In my heart of hearts I believe I wouldn't run, but like I said in this case believing doesn't mean anything. In all honesty I should probably knock on wood, and be careful what I wish for, but if fate has this in store for me, then fate wins.
